[Straw he/him]

Let me call my lawyer. The battle has begun.

I'm paranoid, sue me.

We just had a write-up where someone practically admitted to being a personification of hate, then evaporated with an evil laugh when we tried to lynch him.

Straw just said that an ancient evil had awakened. Which seems perfectly likely.

The 'come my children' probably was a call to cookies. If you want cookies, come. It's perfectly logical.

@Bugsy6912 do you mind rendezvousing with @Silverblade5 on Taldain and letting him scan you twice to confirm you really are "Marsh"? I somewhat doubt Marsh is in the game given both Harmony and Kelsier have said that he was never mentioned in their flavor text, but if hard evidence can prove you're telling the truth then you're no enemy of mine

Sure thing. I'd prefer to meet on Scadrial now that my role's out, though, since I can scrounge there. Does that work for you, SB?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

I am angry now. I have been betrayed by one whom I brought into the Fold. Arraenae, Bleeder, Paalm the Kandra, my invisible Sword.

She did not know, but I knew her every word. I am Odium. I am not tricked so easily. She accepted my spikes, so she was mine to use. I would not do so without a way to know what she was doing. I know what she did.  She sought to return to her master, and in doing so, betrayed Bugsy, my favored one, to Harmony.

She has been silenced. Killed in the middle of the night, while you sought to use her.

However, this disappointment brings about an opportunity. Now that we have been revealed, I can make a deal.

If you promise to Lynch Bugsy tomorrow, not me, then after he is dead, I will reveal everything. I will honestly, and, more importantly, accurately answer any question you ask. I will reveal my abilities, my goals, information i have gathered on independants, other factions, anything you want. I will give my solemn promise to not use my kill again. I have no investiture left. I cannot take any atcion except through items.

All I ask is for your word, that you will lynch Bugsy tomorrow. No one else. After all, if you do that, once the GoH are gone, the game ends.

[Elithanathile he/him]

Hmmm...

What do you guys think. Should we trust the personification of hatred and kill a specific person he asks us to?

Personally I'll be voting for Joe. We already know he's evil for sure. This nonsense with Rae and Bugsy could just be a ploy to distract us

[Elithanathile he/him]

I was asking a rhetoric question with much sarcasm, in case anyone didn't notice.

Interesting...

[Elithanathile he/him]

Okay, so he hid the information. That doesn't mean we can trust it. I'd like to ask Bugsy for more details on this.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Yes, Cause Bugsy always tells the truth, like about his role being Marsh, despite no one else knowing anything about Marsh, despite Harmony himself, not knowing Marsh was in the game. Yes, ask the liar if the honest troll is telling the truth.

[Elithanathile he/him]

Not necessarily because he'll tell the truth, but because it gives us another side of it. Even if he lies, that still gives us more information.

[Bugsy he/him]

*Sigh* What happened to me being the "favored one", Joe?

[Paranoid King he/him]

Q: If we lynch you, are there any GoH left?

A: Yes, Rae. All we have to do is delay him being spiked, and we can end the game whenever we want.

Rae is dead. Joe Compelled her to Suicide by virtue of her Spikes.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Nope. Rae is dead.

EDIT: Totes ninja'd by the favoured one. Also, sorry, but I favor myself above you.

If it hasn't been in the writeup yet, I'm still unsure if him saying something in the thread makes it true.

Never mind, then.

Gosh.

Can he compel bugsy to die? Bugsy has spikes, too.

Edit: Or so I have heard, despite not being able to validate the statement...

None of them are Trellium. He needs you to help  

So, you're left with a dilemma. Help Odium, or help his servant?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

I cannot. Arraenae specifically had a special that allowed me to kill her. She wasn't always a full member of the GoH. I started being able to recruit her, so I did, because I thought i would be able to trust her. But it turns out, I couldn't.

Oh, Odium! Yes, for sure! Odium is indeed trustworthy, and we know because he has been telling us all game! And odium will not kill us, because he said so himself! Too bad it is night so that I can not vote for Bugsy yet!

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

I'm going to pretend that was genuine, and not Sarcastic. 

[Elithanathile he/him]

Wait, that was sarcasm? (sarcasm)

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Hang on -- are you saying you had a power that took effect mid-turn?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Alright. I'll bite Bridge Boy. Why do you think I am lying?

[AliasSheep]

Oh well, isn't this a mess.  @Bugsy6912  How many more members of GoH are there left; just you and Joe?
